Mk3 polo servo fits with no modifying needed, it not the best tho!! I would use a Clio servo and move it over

Not much in the way of a build thread on this car, I may be able to help tho. What do you want to know?

Once such a proud and noble chariot, its great to see its demise resulted in such a epic build!

The complete e36 m3 linkage will fit fine, Z3 1.9 shifter leaver is exactly the same as the standard m3 one so not worth doing. Z4 3.0l and z4m levers give a shorter throw but may need further mods so it wont touch the propshaft in a e30.

First of all make sure the garage who are doing the conversion for you know what they are doing! SOOOO many people have been burnt by garages in the past trying to do this swap. viewing a car they have swapped would be ideal. Then contact Danthe for the engine loom.

The cheap Chinese ones are not worth even looking at, I've fitted a few Geoff steel ones to e36's and they do sound ok, but not like a csl!! As for power, the evo started with 309hp and came up to 325 with the air box and a remap. The b30 I done is running a h and h generic eBay chip and it's ok as ...

I test drove a e39 m5 while I was looking for a new car, it really didn't feel that fast until it got above 100 mph and it felt to controlled if that makes sense :mad: I now own a knuckle dragger e46 m3. It's no rocket ship but I think it feels like a modern e30. And doing my own spanner work it cos...

IMO a 3.15 suits the m52/328 box better, I had a 2.93 slipper on my e36 touring and acceleration felt a little dull to say the least. I swapped that over with a 3.15 LSD and it improved acceleration a little with no real difference in cruising rpm's or fuel economy. If your set on a 2.93 a e36 LSD ...

Thinking about it...... A 3.15 might suit you needs a bit better anyway. I saw a dodgy seller trying to offload a torsen LSD in the for sale section

I know of a 2.93 LSD from a 325e that will be available if I can find him a 3.25 LSD. I have a 2.93 open diff from a e28 but as Dan said it won't swap over into your LSD.

The oil cooler and brake servo clearance spring to mind.

Random rolling road figures won't really help you but,a customers s50b32 made 302 bhp with a complete Btb system. My own b30 made 284 bhp with a Btb manifold and cross pipe with a custom system.

Got to be my old car, it is good to hear it's still out and about

There is no list as such because everybody has a different approach to the conversion, there are a few threads about that will give you the basics.

Great minds think a like, that's what I was thinking but how complicated is it to change the oil pick??

Swapping the sump and pick up is a piece of piss, getting a e46 diesel donk to run properly in a e30 is not so easy.

The exhaust does make the sound different but a m20 always sounds like an m20 if you know what I mean. I'm in the other camp with regards to looks, I think the m52 looks better in the bay and a s50 looks so "right" in a e30 engine bay

M20 wins for sound IMO, m52 wins for everything else.

I'd guess they have there before and after muddled up, and it lost 30 hp! Well that is more believable atleast.

I would love to see some graphs to back up there claims, If it makes an extra 30 hp on a standard s50 I Will eat my own shit

Low mileage/owners does not always mean a nice car, my tech 1 is a 2 owner 90k car and is without a doubt the biggest turd I've owned so far.

I've fitted e30 joints to evo arms before, getting the new joints in is child's play compared to removing the old ones! The press failed to help! Big hammers did not work either. I ended up grinding the bottom off and knocking the guts out and cutting through the side like you would on a diff bush.

Still there mate, we are the other side of the a12 now in Bentley. Pop and see us sometime.

I used to run 9x17's on the back of my car, it needed a very minor arch roll to clear 235/40/17 tyres. 8j on the front with 215/40/17 fitted fine.

I fooked my iS up with a engine swap and sold it for 8k, granted it was not your normal lash up but it does prove a good conversion can command good money.

I had 17s on my old turd and it drove fine, the myth comes from wobbly old Alpina reps fitted to cars with fooked suspension.

For clarity neither the Tps or the knock sensor codes came back again, I assume the Tps had been unplugged at some time and the knock sensor fault is a result of the misfire. Voltage read a steady 13.5 to 14 volts while being driven.

In a very lose term, the f1 donk is 2 s50's welded together

With no spigot rings fitted it is always going to wobble about, it is also unsafe IMO.

My mate has one of these running in a e30, It was a bit of a ball ache to get running but it is worth it. It would be worth speaking to Turk as he got the engine wired up and started for us.
